View Full Version : Mario Bel-Aire Custom TV Set Steve McVoy 03-03-2021, 10:43 AM Anyone have any information on this unusual set? https://earlytelevision.org/mario_bel-aire.html Yamamaya42 03-03-2021, 10:57 AM Wow... that's almost, but not quite as unusual as the Kuba Komet! :scratch2: WISCOJIM 03-03-2021, 11:27 AM By the serial number, I'll guess at least seven were built. . Eric H 03-03-2021, 05:38 PM It looks like something Natalie Kalmus would have turned out, but I'll guess a small, short lived maker of custom sets. Does the chassis bear any resemblance to the 721? nasadowsk 03-03-2021, 08:04 PM The chassis looks to be intercarrier, from the tube lineup... Eric H 03-03-2021, 10:41 PM I found a Lamp by the same company. https://www.chairish.com/product/1781251/1940s-mario-originals-los-angeles-hollywood-aquarium-lamp Electronic M 03-04-2021, 02:53 PM The 3 knobs on the chassis and lack of a damper tube in the tube lineup makes me think it might use that infamous Muntz/Belmont chassis that had no damper, H afc or H Osc tube and instead was just a self oscillating output tube and HV rect. Edit the tube layout looks similar to the Muntz. https://earlytelevision.org/muntz_m21.html Odds are they bought that cheap chassis to put in their cool custom cabinet. Tim 03-04-2021, 02:59 PM I can't read it but it looks like the Manufacturer's initials are listed on the label. Mfgd: x x x Co. Penthode 03-04-2021, 11:05 PM It has a 6W4 damper and 5U4 rectifier. Looks like a 6SN7 synchoguide horizontal oscillator. Bit better than a Muntz. radioal 03-06-2021, 06:56 AM Looks to me like it says CEE Co. Don't know who that would be.

Didn't everyone use the 6SN7/synchroguide setup? It seems like RCA did for a long while, their horizontal osc circuit didn't seem to change much.. |
